SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic – The Constitutional Tribunal of the Dominican Republic has published its landmark decision, announced last month, that recent legal revisions weakening the country’s pro-life public policy were enacted unconstitutionally.
The legal changes allowed abortion if a child simply had developmental disabilities. The court concluded that the law, which runs counter to the country’s pro-life constitution, was enacted illegally by President Danilo Medina, who pushed the measure through without the constitutionally required approval of the nation’s Senate.
